Let's face it. Majoring in Art in college comes with the ball and chain stereotype that you're a weirdo. Regardless of whether we're a strange breed of human or not, all Art Majors have some commonly shared truths.
10 we all know to be way too true:
1. You spend more money on Art supplies a month than you do groceries.
Who needs food anyways? Van Gogh ate paint and he turned out.... okay?
2. You drink coffee. All day. Everyday.
And the one day you try to go without a cup you can't make a coherent sentence to save your life.
3. You're the go-to friend for all creative needs.
Because we have ALL the free time in the world and love working for free.
4. You always get left behind when you're out with friends because you don't just see things, you analyze.
"Oh my gosh. Look at that sign. It's beautiful. I have to take a picture."
5. You end up buying the most random things for projects.
CAHSIER: "....."
YOU: ".. It's for an art project...."
6. You have tons of funny jokes, but only other art majors get them.
7. Any place is a good place to sleep.
Under and on top of desk, hallways, stairwells and even the occasional standing nap.
8. Creative epiphanies happen to you when you're inevitably in public and people just stare.
But, that's okay because genius doesn't happen everyday, am I right?
9. People think our course work is easy.
But have you every tried to write a 10 page paper on a single painting before?
10. We're the ones who understand the world around us in a way others can't.
But we wouldn't have it any other way.
